Yahoo! Sports - MLB - Braves 5, Cubs 2

From the "Isn't It Ironic? Department-

The comeback spoiled a marvelous outing by Cubs right-hander Sergio Mitre, who pitched five-hit ball over 7 2-3 innings and was in line to get his first big league win.

``I was able to keep them off-balance most of the night,'' Mitre said. ``I learned from my mistakes last year, trying to do too much.''

Antonio Alfonseca (1-0) got two outs in the eighth to pick up the win, and Kevin Gryboski pitched the ninth for his first career save.

Nice game Sergio. Guess we just couldn't get past the mighty Antonio. Ha ha ha! No, wait, thats not funny. Not at all.
